I am hope here you are talking about diverticulitis. If yes then let me explain. It means inflammation or infection in your lower colon pouch. Now here your doctor must have done necessary investigation like ct scan and complete blood count testing. Based on that he must have given you some medication like anti biotics. You can also use light heat pack to your painful area.
If nothing have work out and still you have symptoms like diarrhea, constipation, pain in lower abdomen, not feeling to eat, nausea, vomiting then I suggest to do testing once again and based on report take a surgical opinion if there is fistula present, or else continue with anti biotics again.
Here I also suggest to do required changes in your diet, like take more of fubre diet which helps for nutrient absorption as well as passing the food particles in digestive system. Take care.
